“…The ABC-stacked trilayer graphene (TLG) exists naturally and has nearly flat bands around the charge neutrality point (CNP) due to the distinct energy dispersion of E ~ k 3 (where k is the wave vector) [10]. Therefore, it has drawn intense attention recently [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Experimentally, despite the low energy flat-band structures in ABCstacked TLG has been clearly proved [21][22][23][24], the underlying electron-electron interactions remain relatively unexplored.…”

ABC-stacked trilayer graphene (TLG) are predicted to exhibit novel many-body phenomena due to the existence of almost dispersionless flat-band structures near the charge neutrality point (CNP). Here, using high magnetic field scanning tunneling microscopy, we present Landau Level (LL) spectroscopy measurements of high-quality ABC-stacked TLG. We observe an approximately linear magneticfield-scaling of the valley splitting and orbital splitting in the ABC-stacked TLG. Our experiment indicates that the valley splitting decreases dramatically with increasing the LL index. When the lowest LL is partially filled, we find an obvious enhancement of the orbital splitting, attributing to strong many-body effects. Moreover, we observe linear energy scaling of the inverse lifetime of quasiparticles, providing an additional evidence for the strong electron-electron interactions in the ABC-stacked TLG. These results imply that interesting broken-symmetry states and novel electron correlation effects could emerge in the ABC-stacked TLG in the presence of high magnetic fields.

“…1(b). In the past few years, the ABA TLG has attracted much attention because that it is an ideal platform to explore broken-symmetry quantum Hall and many-body states [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. Although many interesting broken-symmetry quantum Hall states and interaction-induced phenomena have been observed in transport measurements [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10], they are never being probed in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies because of the difficulties in microscopically identifying the stacking order of the TLG and the limited spectroscopic resolution.…”

ABA-stacked trilayer graphene (TLG), the simplest system consisting of both massless and massive Dirac fermions, is expected to exhibit many interesting broken-symmetry quantum Hall states and interaction-induced phenomena. However, difficulties in microscopically identifying the stacking order of the TLG and limited spectroscopic resolution have stymied experimental probes of these interesting states and phenomena in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies. Here we studied the detailed features of the electronic structure in the ABA TLG by using high-resolution STM measurements. Landau-level (LL) crossings of the massless and massive Dirac fermions, and effective mass renormalization of the massive Dirac fermions were observed, indicating strong electron-electron interactions in the ABA TLG. Most unexpectedly, we observed unconventional splittings of the lowest LLs for both the massless and massive Dirac fermions in high perpendicular magnetic fields. These splittings of the LLs, which are beyond the description of tight-binding calculations, reveal unexplored broken-symmetry quantum Hall states in the ABA TLG induced by many-body effects.

“…The idea that vocal timbre works as the object-cause of desire would explain listeners’ eager inscriptions of (fantasies of) meanings onto this tangibly present but ephemeral quality of sound. Goth's remarkable timbres, for instance, effect a powerful sonic manifestation of the longing for different realities expressed in goth lyrics and culture (Van Elferen and Weinstock 2015, pp. 42–3).…”

Timbre is a key aspect of musical practice and aesthetics. Artists use instrumentation, vocal technique, and production technology to create precise tone colours; listeners are able to identify genres, artists, and connotations through timbre. But critical assessment of its ephemeral musical agency is scarce. This article develops a theory of timbre. Goth music, which privileges tone colour in production, performance, and aesthetic, is a case in point for the ungraspable agency of this musical parameter. Timbral analyses of two goth tracks, Veil of Light's 'Cold Skin' and Sopor Aeternus and the Ensemble of Shadows's 'Dreamland', will assess tone colour's relation to identity and difference (Walser), signification and corporeality (Barthes, Ihde), and the surplus of meaning and embodiment (Dolar). The article will argue that timbral aesthetics are characterised by the paradox of present absence: it indicates corporeality and meaning but simultaneously exceeds both. Tangible but also disembodied, immersive but also meaningless, it is no wonder that goth exploits timbre's dark agency.
